Job up in smoke! Cannabis lover loses work after being first to buy legal pot

Mike Boyer from Washington State had been waiting for hours before the first marijuana legal shop opened in his town. But after purchase, the pot enthusiast received a demand from his employer to undergo a drug test, he told local media.

Boyer said that when he headed home to enjoy the fun, he received
a message from his employer that he should do a drug test. He
told The New York Daily News that he did the test and it came
back positive for THC, the mind-altering ingredient in marijuana.
After the test, Boyer told the local newspapers that he lost his
position at Kodiak Security Services.

“I’ve worked for them on and off for 12 years and several
years ago, I signed a document that said I wouldn’t have [THC] in
my system,” he told NY Daily news, “I don’t smoke at
work!”

Boyer’s mood was still high as he seized his moment in history –
he was the first cannabis buyer in his town of Spokane.

“I’m still the captain! I’m still number one!” he told
the Vocativ news website. “I mean, a man can always get a
job. But a man can only be the first person to buy recreational
cannabis in Spokane once.”

Boyer published his resume on the internet bulletin
board Craigslist on Wednesday, titling the post “LOST MY JOB!
still #1 tho!!”

“I lost my job due to the news coverage of me being the FIRST
PERSON TO BUY MARIJUANA LEGALLY IN SPOKANE!” Boyer wrote.
“I regret nothing. But now im [sic] jobless and have decided
to post my resume here. Thanks for reviewing it.”
